Picato Skin Treatment
Personnel Availability:
Dr Graeme Scrivener recently
attended a course
using a new
treatment to New Zealand called
PICATO, at the Sunspot Clinic in
Tauranga.
Dr Graeme Scrivener:

August: 4th, 5th, 7th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 18th,

September: 1st, 2nd, 8th, 9th, 15th, 16th, 22nd,
23rd, 29th, 30th
Picato gel is a prescription medicine
used topically (on the skin) to treat
actinic/solar keratosis (sun damage)
and very superficial skin cancers on
the face and body.
Dr Richard McCubbin:
September: 10th, 11th, 12th, 17th, 18th, 19th,
24th, 25th, 26th
Picato attacks the sun damaged
areas from the outside of the skin
and uses your immune system as
well. Treating the face only takes 3
days and treating areas of the body
takes 2 days. The reaction of Picato
treatment is very quick and starts
on day one of treatment.
Phone our practice anytime, day or night
for immediate assistance.
Our after hours phone is answered by a
registered nurse, who will assess your
needs, offer advice or arrange immediate
assistance from the on-call doctor or rural
nurse. (She may take up to two minutes to
answer.)

Amuri Community Health Skin Cancer Clinic
As the skin ages with sun exposure there is increasing damage to all skin cells. This often leads to the appearance of scaly red lesions
called actinic keratosis and brownish skin spots called lentingos. These are often most noticeable on the face and the back of arms and
hands. Particularly in members of the farming industry. Any one of the actinic keratosis can eventually change into a basal or
squamous cell carcinoma . These are the most common skin cancers in New Zealand. It is difficult to predict where the change will occur.
There are now skin treatments called field treatments that remove large areas of damaged skin cells and so reduce the chances of skin
cancer developing. The face is a common area for treatment.
I recently attended a course in using a new treatment to New Zealand called PICATO (ingenol mebutate) at the Sunspot Clinic in
Tauranga. This clinic has 40 or more people taking this treatment at any one time.
Picato gel is a prescription medicine used topically (on the skin) to treat actinic/solar keratosis (sun damage) and very superficial skin cancers
on the face and body. It is similar to other topical treatments such as Efudix and Aldara. All three treatments give approximately 80% cure
rate. The main purpose of using these treatments is to cure extensive sun damage and prevent this damage from progressing into possible skin
cancers that would require surgical removal. The main difference between using Picato compared to Efudix and Aldara is treatment time and
cost.
Efudix attacks the sun damaged areas from the outside of the skin and takes 3-6 weeks of treatment to get a good reaction and a further 2-3
weeks to heal. It is funded by the government so only a small cost of the script is involved.
Aldara uses your immune system to attack the sun damaged area and takes 6-16 weeks of treatment to get a good reaction and a further 2-3
weeks to heal. Because Aldara uses the immune system to destroy bad cells, some people can feel unwell with flu like symptoms. This
treatment is also funded by the government.
Picato attacks the sun damaged areas from the outside of the skin and uses your immune system as well. Treating the face only takes 3 days
and treating areas of the body takes 2 days. The reaction of Picato treatment is very quick and starts on day one of treatment. This is a great
advantage as your skin will be recovered and new within 10-14 days. With Efudix and Aldara on the face you can look unsightly with
the reaction for many weeks. An added benefit appreciated by those who have used it is the good cosmetic result. Because the treatment is so
quick and the reaction so sudden it is required that your health care professionals apply this treatment and monitor your reaction on a daily
basis. Picato has been used for years worldwide but only new to New Zealand so is not yet funded by the government, a higher cost is
involved. This should measure against the cost and time of possibly having to have developing skin cancers removed surgically.
I was so impressed with the results in Tauranga that I under took the treatment myself and am very pleased with the results! I am
keen to promote this treatment particularly among men who have obvious facial skin damage from years of exposure to the sun
(farmers/ agricultural workers) . Females, in general, take more care with their skin. Men have tended to hope for the best. The extended
time with previous treatment has put people off. My aim is to offer a significant reduction in the chances of getting skin cancer with a
tolerable short duration treatment
Please feel free to contact me at the clinic to discuss the suitability and cost of Picato . I will show a small presentation of what
to expect and provide detailed information on how the treatment proceeds.

Access to funding for native plantings. We have helped landowners obtain over $100,000
for native bush, stream & wetland plantings. Funding currently available.
Knowledge of what grows locally. Some Leyland/conifer species are prone to dieback in the
Amuri Basin. Others are high maintenance. Our extensive trial work with poplars revealed
which species handle the wind & dry summers. Which Pittosporum varieties handle Amuri
winters? With 15 years planting experience in the Amuri area we can ensure you get the
right varieties of plants for your site.
Site visits, basic plans, quotes & funding applications all available at no charge.
Native plant nursery based in Cheviot & an experienced planting team available.
Over the past 15 years Hurunui Natives has & continues to support a range of community organisations,
local shows & fundraisers in the Amuri area. We can do plans, source funding, deliver & lay out plants
at no cost for any community plantings.
We would like to thank the following who are happy to be contacted as referees for our work or to
look at their plantings.
